This study is based on oribatid mites of the subfamily Arcoppiinae (Oribatida, Oppiidae) collected from rainforest litter in Izabal Department, Guatemala. A new species of Arcoppia—A. tetraramosa sp. nov.—is described. In having several long, barbed branches of the bothridial seta and comparatively long dorsal notogastral setae, the new species is similar to A. dechambrierorum and A. serrulata, but can be distinguished from both by the morphology of the rostrum, the length of dorsal notogastral setae, the sculpturing of basal part of the prodorsum, the length of the costula, and the presence of the specific ridge-like structure in front of the transcostula. A supplementary description of Wallworkoppia cervifer is presented and its main morphological traits are summarized.

The life cycle and larval diet of Amphipsyche meridiana Ulmer 1902 were investigated in a natural freshwater habitat at Kasetsart University's Kamphaeng Saen Campus in Nakhon Pathom Province, Thailand. Larvae were collected monthly from December 2021 to November 2022. Most species of Hydropsychidae have five larval instars. The first to fifth larval instars were found in the stream throughout the year. Head capsule widths of the first to fifth instar larvae were 0.1–0.3, 0.4–0.6, 0.7–0.9, 1.0–1.2, and 1.3–1.6 millimeters, respectively. The highest number of larvae was found in July 2022. Adult emergence occurred throughout the year, with the highest number occurring in April 2022. A. meridiana's life cycle was characterized as multivoltine, with year-round recruitment. The Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) was used to determine how conditions in the environment influenced larval abundance. The factors influencing the amounts of larvae are water depth, water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, ammonia-nitrogen, and sulfate. The larvae of this species are omnivorous filterers. The main food types found in the gut were blue-green algae and green algae, comprising 34.11% and 33.07% of its ingestion. In addition, the digestive tract was abundant with diatoms, rotifers, and insect fragments, accounting for 32.82% of the diet.

A new fossil leafy liverwort species is described based on its inclusion in Eocene Rovno amber. This species has morphology that is characteristic of extant representatives of the families Frullaniaceae and Jubulaceae, i.e., conduplicate-trilobed leaves with a ventral lobule forming a saccate-clavate watersac with its mouth directed towards the base of the stem, larger dorsal lobes and deeply bifid underleaves. The leaf lobes in the studied plant seem to be dentate near the apex, a character state together with the shape of the underleaves and the underleaf insertion, connects the new species with the Jubulaceae, particularly the extant genera Jubula and Neohattoria, rather than with the Frullaniaceae. The minute size of the fossilized plant, as well as the shape and size of the ventral lobules is reminiscent of Neohattoria, but the more distant lobule position and presence of terminal gynoecia with a single floral series of bracts having entire margins better fit species of Jubula. The fossil is therefore better placed in Jubula, as J. polessica sp. nov., based on its overall morphological similarity with extant members of that genus.

Gregarines (Apicomplexa: Eugregarinida) are protists that live in the digestive tract and other body cavities of numerous terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates. The gregarine fauna of Eastern Europe has not yet been sufficiently studied. In the course of this study, we aimed to record gregarines living in the insides of the most widespread species of darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae: Coleoptera) in steppe zone of Ukraine. We found 7 species of gregarines belonging to 3 families: Actinocephalidae, Gregarinidae and Stylocephalidae, with the latter family being the most diverse. Gregarina Steinina diaperis was recorded in Diaperis boleti, Gregarina ormierei in Gonocephalum pusillum, and G. ovoidea in Asida lutosa. As for members of the family Stylocephalidae, Sphaerorhynchus cf. hamoni was found in G. pusillum, Stylocephalus gigas in Blaps lethifera, S. longicollis in Gnaptor spinimanus, and S. oblongatus in A. lutosa, Opatrum sabulosum, Oodescelis melas, and Pimelia subglobosa. G. ovoidea Wellmer, 1911, S. gigas Filipponi, 1949, S. longicollis (Stein, 1848) Watson, 1916 and S. oblongatus (Hammerschmidt, 1838) Watson, 1916 were first found in a new host species. All the identified species are new to the fauna of Ukraine and are recorded for the first time in the steppe zone of Eastern Europe.

The Afrotropical lappet moth genus Hypotrabala Holland, 1893 is reviewed utilising specimens housed in the African Natural History Research Trust collections. The synthesis of morphological and DNA analyses has reconciled discrepancies in previous treatments of the genus and Hypotrabala is clearly delimited with implications on the nomenclature and taxonomy. The genus Epitrabala Hering, 1932 syn. n. is synonymised with Hypotrabala resulting in the following changes: Hypotrabala argenteoguttata (Aurivillius, 1909) comb. rev. is revived, H. horridula Tams, 1925 stat. rev. is removed from synonymy with Epitrabala nyassana (Aurivillius, 1909) and two taxa, H. horridula seydeli Tams, 1925 syn. n. and Epitrabala argyrostigma Hering, 1932 syn. n. are synonymised with it. Epitrabala nyassana is transferred to the genus Leptometa (comb. n.) as is Leptometa sanguicincta comb. n. (previously assigned to Hypotrabala), while Hypotrabala odonestioides Berio, 1937 is excluded from Hypotrabala although its generic placement remains uncertain. Based on the structures of the male eighth sternite, Hypotrabala fontainei stat. n. is raised to species status and a new genus Megatrabala gen. n. is described for the striking taxon M. regalis (Tams, 1953) comb. n. Furthermore, 19 new species are described: H. aurantiaca, H. cinereamargo, H. exquisita, H. extenuata, H. giustii, H. indefinita, H. igneata, H. lunda, H. lydiae, H. magnimacula, H. obscura, H. ophioglossa, H. pallens, H. pruinosa, H. retorta, H. smithi, H. tabithae, H. tamsi and H. volynkini spp. n. Certain incongruencies between the results of the barcode analyses and species concepts in this genus and Lasiocampidae more generally are discussed.

Epitrabala nyassana is transferred to the genus Leptometa (comb. n.) as is Leptometa sanguicincta comb. n. (previously assigned to Hypotrabala), while Hypotrabala odonestioides Berio, 1937 is excluded from Hypotrabala although its generic placement remains uncertain. Based on the structures of the male eighth sternite, Hypotrabala fontainei stat. n. is raised to species status and a new genus Megatrabala gen. n. is described for the striking taxon M. regalis (Tams, 1953) comb. n. Furthermore, 19 new species are described: H. aurantiaca, H. cinereamargo, H. exquisita, H. extenuata, H. giustii, H. indefinita, H. igneata, H. lunda, H. lydiae, H. magnimacula, H. obscura, H. ophioglossa, H. pallens, H. pruinosa, H. retorta, H. smithi, H. tabithae, H. tamsi and H. volynkini spp. n. Certain incongruencies between the results of the barcode analyses and species concepts in this genus and Lasiocampidae more generally are discussed.","PeriodicalId":504865,"journal":{"name":"Ecologica Montenegrina","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140219853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
